Seattle, Washington (all collectively,
‘‘the Ascletis Respondents’’). Id. The
Office of Unfair Import Investigation is

Id.
On June 30, 2023, Viking filed an
Omnibus Motion for Monetary and NonMonetary Sanctions Against
Respondents and their Counsel, alleging
failure to cooperate during discovery,
failure to cooperate during forensic
examinations, and violations of the
terms of certain orders.
On August 10, 2023, Foster, Murphy,
Altman & Nickel, PC (‘‘Foster Murphy’’)
moved to intervene in this investigation
for the limited purpose of defending
Foster Murphy and its attorneys’
interest in response to complainant
Viking’s omnibus motion for sanctions.
The motion was unopposed.
On August 28, 2023, the presiding
administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued
the subject ID (Order No. 37) pursuant
to Commission Rule 210.19 (19 CFR
210.19) granting Foster Murphy’s
motion to intervene. Order No. 37 (Aug.
28, 2023). The ALJ states that the
sanctions motion seeks joint and several
liability between the Ascletis
Respondents and Foster Murphy for
discovery abuse. Id. at 4–5. The ALJ
finds that Viking’s sanctions motion
makes specific allegations that implicate
Foster Murphy and its attorneys. Id. at
5. The ALJ finds that, in view of these
separate interests, the limited purpose
of the intervention, and the lack of
opposition, Foster Murphy’s motion to
intervene is granted. Id. at 6.
No party filed a petition for review.
The Commission has determined not
to review the subject ID.
The Commission vote for this
determination took place on September
22, 2023.
The authority for the Commission’s
determination is contained in section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in Part
210 of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part
210).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: September 22, 2023.
